However, when I tried opening the file in Emacs on Linux, the UTF-8 encoded Russian characters displayed as garbage. I am using the precompiled Emacs that is bundled with Fedora Core 2 (latest RedHat). I assume that it has leim & mule bundled in. How might I check what is going wrong? BTW, koi8-r fails for both w32 & linux.
